The estate's Kraté label has reportedly been served at South Korea's presidential residence at diplomatic functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking process\u003c\/strong\u003e: an Amarone-style method — late-harvested sanmeoru grapes are dried before fermentation to concentrate sugar and flavour, then aged over three years in oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sudosan built its identity around sanmeoru specifically because it's a genuinely native Korean grape rather than an imported vinifera variety — the \"Krate\" name nods to the region's volcanic crater geology, tying the wine directly to the land it comes from rather than to any imported winemaking tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sudosan Winery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43103067144290,"sku":null,"price":128.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/1339\/1970\/files\/Krate-Red.png?v=1783865245","url":"https:\/\/boundbywine.com\/products\/sudosan-winery-krate-red-dry","provider":"BoundbyWine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
